We are all lucky that Fagen did not choose to use his genius for evil instead of for music.
-
Music is largely an advanced mathematical pursuit of vectors, polynomials, compound physics and engineering science plotted on a stave of five bands in relation to time and space phenomena. Simple as that.

One thing I noticed right off the bat is how Fagen consistently says "we" when discussing the Steely Dan songwriting process. I often hear people dismiss Becker's contribution as secondary to Fagen's singular genius, but I think there is a reason Becker receives equal billing, and Fagen is clearly acknowledging that fact.

Here's the deal with theory: You study study study it, and then you never think about it again (except in the process of explaining things, as seen here). It's like learning a language. Once you've learned it, you don't conciously think "in this next sentence, I'm going to say 'my', followed by 'name', followed by 'is', etc"..... it just sorta comes out. If you're soloing over G7, your brain doesn't say "either a blues scale or a mixolydian would be nice here", it just comes out.
